other groups who are not included. They should discuss these questions with the pair beside them. Finally take some feedback on key points of interest which have arisen for them. Notes on the Grounds/Groups Gender (Ireland) This includes transgender, as well as male and female. Sex (Northern Ireland): This includes transgender, as well as male and female, married people and pregnant women. Race: This includes language, nationality, skin colour and ethnicity. In Northern Ireland it also includes Irish Travellers. Member of the Traveller Community: This ground was included in the Irish Equality legislation because Travellers are not officially recognised as an ethnic group in Ireland. However, in Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, Irish Travellers are recognised as an ethnic group and are therefore covered under the Race ground. Political Opinion: This category was included in the Northern Ireland legislation because of the polarised political groups in the jurisdiction and because of the history of discrimination against people because of their political affiliations. It was not felt necessary to include it in the legislation in Ireland. Age: Young people under 18 are not covered under the age ground by the Irish Equal Status Act, but are covered under all the other grounds. Why are some grounds or groups not included in the legislation? Married people were included under the Sex ground to ensure equal pay for women, but widowed, separated and single people are not protected under any of the grounds in Northern Ireland. It is not clear exactly why groups such as ex-prisoners, for example, are not included in legislation in either jurisdiction, as they are known to be at risk of suffering inequality and discrimination. Not included under any of the grounds: A person from a disadvantaged area, a person who is long-term unemployed, an ex-prisoner, plus in Northern Ireland, a divorced person, a widowed person, a single person, a parent of a child under 18. These people are not protected under the equality or anti-discrimination legislation on the basis of these facts – they are of course protected under all the other grounds or categories which apply to them. Note: Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 includes broader categories of people, see page 96. 88 SECTION 14 EXPLORING EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY THE LAW
